A Japanese picture book of bird and flower studies (ehon) published in 1891 by Shimomura Hatatarō, with text and drawings by Nagamine Shigekichi. The pictures are brush-like ink line drawings of birds in motion and at rest, with sparse ground and foliage, showing how a designer can use economical line and open white space to suggest a subject.
